Take me down to the old Reading City

49: Recording the Real Reading Podcast is an absolute joy. EXCEPT WHEN TECHNICAL GREMLINS HAPPEN. That's enough of the caps. Somehow some absolute gold about Bar Oz didn't make it through the mic to the recording thing. What did make it through was some terrific insight in to what it is to be a Reading Borough Councillor as we are joined by Ashley Pearce for a chat. This weeks Fort Explains It All is around the proposed closure of Reading's public toilet's and Tom has another list of things.There's also a Monkey Tax update from (sainthood pending) Linda Fort and we'll announce who will be our special guest for the 50th episode of the Real Reading Podcast. Let prattle commence! Follow us on Twitter and join us on Facebook. If you like our new intro music, it's Real Life by Reading's own Twin Sun.
